NEARLY right, but not quite:
the problem was that "technical" "surrender" is what the confederates did, & now they've earned a reverse-takeover, & once the dictatorship is activated, vengeance begins, wholesale.
It wasn't punishing being a confederate that was required, it was systematically dismantling confederate-nationalism, through dispersion, through not allowing citizenship for anybody who wouldn't vow loyalty to the union, etc.
Unfortunately, since human-animals are ideological 1st, rational distant-2nd, then it is the imprinting-mind, the lower-forebrain which has to be broken from its programming, & that requires systematic imprinting.
It is the same with mere-animals, & with ideologues.
There was an article on KyivIndependent, about a prison for Russia-collaborators, & one of the women there knows that it was Russia which was doing the bombing, but she blames Ukraina & is loyal to Russia.
You simply can't allow that kind of ideological-programming to have citizenship in one's country, XOR the consequences are going to be nationally-fatal.
Exactly as the US's highjacking by Trump-cult is demonstrating.
EITHER viability XOR ideological-nationalism.
At this point, I'd require that all young-adults experience living in at-least 4 culturally-different regions of North America, or Europe, before they can have voting-rights: they have to experience cultural-diversity, THEMSELVES, in order to understand what it actually means.
None of this "I'm born here: I'm entitled, & if all others need eradicating, that's my religion!" ideological garbage.
EITHER be a proper, upright, culturally-cosmopolitan citizen, XOR be managed, as a person who WON'T KNOW other's validity, & that's fine: every person ought choose their way.
That the christofascists hold that they have the right to enforce their religion on all the lives they can, & so do the zionists, & the islamists..
there isn't any point in pretending that ideological-totalitarianism can "coexist" with civilrights.
That's intentional-delusion, as the evidence shows.
Only competent citizens ought have voting-authority.
& that includes critical-thinking.
Exactly the same as only competent pilots ought be piloting aircraft, over our heads.
It has to be requirement, not "if political-will wills it" bullshit.
& that includes sufficient cultural-perspective to actually-understand what other perspectives means, in civil society.
Etc.
Anyways, the ideologues will never tolerate responsibility-archy to rule, so this won't happen, but humankind's facing extinguishment, this century, & maybe some, decades from now, will value humankind's life enough to orient to objective-requirements, instead of ideological-dogma.
Not my problem: I intend to be gone from your world well before it gets to that degree of enforced-transformation, through Liberation, if possible.
